Make Medicine With Your Life
An Earth-Centered Approach to Healing Trauma and Finding Belonging
Most of us spend our days knowing something is deeply out of alignment. We are moving much too fast for our bodies, psyches, and spirits. We feel as though we are at the mercy of our lives. We are sick, sad, anxious, afraid, and lonely. We feel separate from other humans, plants, animals, and the rhythms of the Earth itself. If you have unhealed trauma, if you are burned out, moving too fast, taking on too much, valuing yourself only by your productivity, and have lost touch with your deep inner landscape and the ripe, timely wisdom she contains, this book is for you.

Description
In Make Medicine with Your Life, I draw on ecopsychology, Chinese Medicine, and various Earth-based practices to present a journey toward healing untended trauma. Through lessons on the psychology of trauma and with exercises based on connecting to the Earth, I offer a program that offers a path to tending to your traumas starting with yourself, focusing inward toward your own wounding; you’ll then explore the trauma passed on from your family and past generations, and finally the trauma of the land and from feeling disconnected from the Earth.
Once you arrive here, you will fully and unwaveringly root yourself back into the Earth and with your newfound resilience, become available to support the healing journey of other parts of yourself, of your loved ones, your ancestors, and the collective.
